First thing you need to do is remove everything in that area, eg. wiring, felt etc so nothing catches a light when welding.
Then unpick (spot welds) the plenum chamber and you can see the extent of rust and make your new section.

Yep, most of them look like this:

Mine was almost identical damage to this pic. Only way is to unpick the plenum top, and replace the metal.
